girls who will let themselves be guided;
girls who have the flial sentiment well
developed; and who feel the love of q
daughter for the woman who acts as
their mother; girls who know that
every day and all day long can not be
devoted to holiday-making without the
Intervention of duties more or less irk-
some; girls who, when they can gather
them, accept their roses with frank and
girlish sincerity of pleasure. and, when
they are denied, submit without repin-

companionship gladdens and does not

Dean Stanley thus explained why
the term ''bluc" was originally applied
to Presbyterians: The distinct dress
of the Scotch Presbyterian clergy was
a blue gown and a broad blue bonnet.
The Episcopal clergy, on the contrary,
either wore no distinctive dress in pub
lie services, or else wore black gown.
From this arose the contrasting epithets
of the Black Prelacy' and the Blue

Eastern Girls and Olives.

81 wonder why it is that girls are
so fond of olives?" remarked q
fashionable caterer, .''or rather, why
they pretend to be, for, to tell the truth,
don't believe one girl in ten really
Graves them so much as she would have
people believe. By some means or
other olive-eating has become fashiOna-
able of late years, and the young
women of society devour them greedily
whenever they get the chance. Why I
have seen them eat olives with ice
cream and many a girl Ihave known to
accept an olive and refuse a maron
glace. How many do they eat on the
average? o, well, the appetite in that
direction often seems Unsuitable. The
more they devour the more fashionable
they seem to think themselves. Six is
perhaps the average number, although
at dinner parties l have known some
socially ambitious creatures to devour
from a dozen to fifteen. Philadelphia
